Lawn Fertilizers usually contain three key ingredients to ensure the health of the Lawn these are, Phosphorus, Potassium, Nitrogen, the afore mentioned are the three types of elements that must be present in the fertilizer that you use for the lawn.

To begin with; Potassium helps in increasing the resistance during the cold weather, resistance against diseases is enhanced and is capable of bearing any harsh calamities of weather.
Phosphorus helps in strengthening the grass roots and further establishing strong roots, it is required essentially at the time of plantation to hasten the process and also at the time when an old lawn is being renewed.

Nitrogen is by far the most important aspect it helps growth of grass and this element with its characteristic qualities adds its green colour to the blades. The density of grass and thickness also help in fighting attacks from pests and insects.

The fertilizer that you buy must have these three elements primarily and while buying fertilizers that you intend using for your lawn ensure that you have considered the climatic conditions of the area you live in and also the soil that will be available for the lawn. If these two elements are already existing in the soil, you may not require an additional fertilizer, instead to avoid excess usage and supply of these elements the soil must be tested prior to any plantation, this test will help in determining the PH levels that need to be balanced and also the nutrients which might already be present in the soil you are about to use for the lawn. Ensure always that the fertilizer you use is best recommended in the market.
